www.quizlet.com Quizlet is a little known jewel; a free website created by a 17 year old student (now 19 at MIT) to help him learn French vocabulary. The strength comes in giving students the power to collaborate as they create vocabulary review for their classmates. The sites allows groups to be created, allowing students to work and communicate within their group. It also supports images and audio, however, the images must be on Flickr.

Test Mode is the most versatile study mode, supporting short-answer, matching, multiple choice and true/false testing, or any combination. It also scores your answers with easy-to-read corrections.

Other Flash Card Websites - quoted from the Indiana Buddy Project
Remember the days of fumbling around with cardboard flash cards for practicing and memorizing of vocabulary, number concepts or history facts? Now, online tools provide easy creation, storage and exporting of electronic flashcards for real-time student learning. Websites such as Scholastic’s Homework Hub offer tools to construct online flashcards for simple math concepts and memorization of vocabulary or facts. In fact, Scholastic’s format allows the user to immediately use the flashcards after they are developed. Flashcard Machinepermits selection of shared flashcard sets as well as creation of your own set, and it also allows the addition of images and audio to the flashcards. Registration for an account is required, but it offers teachers the ability to set up multiple-accounts within theirs for student use. Another tool, Flashcard Exchange, provides the ability to study, print or export the sets you create or those created by others. These flashcards can include hints, three sides and user can automatically monitor the time spent studying. Study Stack provides a multitude of already developed flashcard sets including information from simple addition to astronomy facts. It uniquely allows the sets to be turned into a different study mode, such as study table, hangman game, crossword puzzle or a matching activity. Many of these online tools can provide anytime/anywhere learning with printing features or ability to export the flash cards to a cell phone, PDA or iPod. Use of these Internet tools brings a new look and way to memorize facts, words and number concepts.
